Increased reaction time, being awake and being able to stay awake during the day are pluses. Although some people don't think so caffeine is a drug, and with all drugs come side effects, the feeling of necessity is a main effect of caffeine. "Energy drinks" and other drinks also propose problems of the serious nature. Heart palpitations and addiction, damaged nervous systems and stomach ulcers can occur. So though caffeine helps get you going, think of how its going to bring you to a crashing halt later. :| Caffeine in moderation is not bad.

I have always been told that caffeine is bad for me but to actually read that there is some good in caffeine shocked me. Reading this article has really changed my view on drinking substances with caffeine. Even though we can argue saying that its good for your brain and heart the bad hurts you the most. Another point about caffeine is that its really addictive. Manufactures put this chemical in there drinks so they can gain buisness and the buyers are stuck in the middle of this process. Once your addicted to soda and coffee its really hard to stop so be careful on how you use caffeine. Having it once in a while is alright but once you make it a daily routine then its actually hard to stop drinking and buying it. As a fan of coffee and soda this article really caught my eye.
